These $26 million robotic dolphins are coming to a Chinese aquarium soon and they look exactly like the real thing

So, Edge Innovations enlisted American designers, including Walt Disney Company alums and Walt Conti, the designer behind Free Willy. Robotic dolphins aren't cheap — they will likely run about $26 million each, according to The Guardian. Edge Innovation claims that they will last longer, and they don't have the same maintenance requirements as large ocean mammals. The animatronics will be "sustainable, safe, and profitable" according to promotional materials.

Not only will these robots provide a more humane way to have the experience of interacting with sea creatures, the company sees a future for the animatronics beyond aquariums. Edge Innovation's website suggests hotels, cruises, malls, and museums as other potential venues, and they don't plan to just stop with dolphins. The website mentions great white sharks and sea dragons as other options in the future.

It proves even very smart humans have “bad instincts” which lead them to break ethics & values in order to make quick, easy money Why doers everything of national value have to be placed on the public internet ? Shouldn't we have an internet system just for strategic development purposes that has no access to hackers via the public internet system ? Shouldn't we be tired of building China's economy by now?
